In 2025, the average price of premium real estate lots in Sochi reached 2.1 million rubles per 1 sq. m. This was the conclusion reached by analysts of Urban and PARADE Development projects, who conducted a study of this sales sector. The data was reviewed by Izvestia on April 22.

"Sochi, without exaggeration, has become the most popular Russian all-season resort, which has no analogues in the country. These factors combined have created a huge pent—up demand, which still does not fully cover the volume of new supply," said Daria Komissarova, CEO of PARADE Development.

Developers have already turned their attention to undervalued locations on the coast and in the mountainous part of the Krasnodar Territory, which will be actively developed in the coming years," summed up Olga Khasanova, General Director of Projector Urban.
